“It wasn’t supposed to happen” – John Cena reveals a special moment in his career wouldn’t have happened

John Cena has been a part-timer recently in WWE.
Whether be it The Ruthless Aggression era, the PG era, the Reality era or some part of the New era, you will find one name in common who have carried the company through all the different eras in WWE right on his back, and that name is the 16-time World Champion, John Cena.
Throughout his impeccable career in WWE, Cena brought the company to the newer heights which they’ve possibly never seen before. He was not just only a WWE superstar rather he became the emotion of the WWE Universe wherever he performed on any corner of the earth.
But when you look back to where this legendary journey started off, you might remember that Smackdown in 2002 where the young John Cena confronted Kurt Angle and made his WWE debut against him on June 27th . Angle picked up a mic and started insulting off a young Cena in front of the live audience to which Cena said only two words in response – “Ruthless Aggression” and punched him right into the face following that. Although then, John lost his debut match against Kurt, he displayed a fight before going down to get pinned by Angle.
This night holds a very special significance in the hearts of almost every wrestling fan and John Cena himself. During his interview with Florida Supercon, John Cena revealed a shocking thing about his first night in WWE. He went on to say that his match against Kurt Angle wasn’t planned to happen, instead he was put in that place because WWE had no other options.
“It’s surreal and it all happened so fast [match with Kurt Angle and shaking hands with The Undertaker]. It wasn’t even supposed to happen. I was thrown in there last minute because they had no other options.
It was all like a blur but I remember I was ready to wrestle Kurt and he brought, technically the best out of me and forced me — he tried to run me ragged but I hung in there with him and yes, they filmed backstage moments of other superstars shaking hands there because it was genuine.”
John Cena’s debut will go down as one of the best in WWE history
history When we look upon it today, that moment when Cena was staring Angle inside the ring on Smackdown in 2002, it still gives us chillls and goosebumps.
Fast forward 20 years, John Cena is often regarded as “The Greatest of all-time “ in WWE. That surreal moment is already 20 years old and we really can’t digest upon this fact cause it feels like a few clocks back only. Throughout his career, John Cena has accomplished almost everything one would dream to do.
Presently, after wrestling in his last match for WWE at Summerslam last year, Cena is yet to show up again in front of the WWE Universe.
